LISTEN: Black Keys Cover Buddy Holly!

The Ohio blues-rock duo play "Dearest" on a star-studded tribute album.

He’s one of rock’n’roll’s founding fathers, and on June 28 the late Buddy Holly will receive a much-deserved tribute from an impressive collection of today’s hottest music stars, including blues-rock duo the Black Keys, whose cover of the lounge-y love ballad “Dearest” just posted online.

But of ‘em all, no one quite looks the part of Holly — who died at 22 in a Minnesota plane crash with the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens on February 3, 1959, aka The Day the Music Died — like the Keys’ drummer Patrick Carney. It’s uncanny, really — compare and contrast!
